Seven In 10 Homeless off Streets After No Second Night Out Expansion

Nearly seven in 10 rough sleepers in England were helped off the streets on the day they were found following the expansion of the No Second Night Out scheme, a study has claimed. A report charting the progress of the initiative following its roll-out across England also shows nearly 8 in 10 (78 per cent) did not return to the streets after being helped by homelessness services. Sixty-seven per cent of rough sleepers across England are now helped off the streets the day they are found, the report said. There is no comparable data for previous years.
